Good work Sander! I will participate in my first "race" on Saturday. I'm rowing in the mixed quad. It will be only my 5th time sculling ever....we'll see how it goes! I got some good work in on the double last night with a lady in my boat. I sat stroke. We worked mostly on technique but did get up t...

I've been thinking about this...what is it that drives us endurance atheletes to such lengths? I started erging in Sept of 2010 and I remember thinking I've just got to get my 2K time under 7:00. I rowed my ass off, put in long miserable sessions of 60min + just to build my "core endurance" for less...

Set out to row a new PB today and came out of the gym pleased. New 5K PB today! Old PB: 19:03.1 New PB: 18:47.3 I set the monitor up to give me splits every 1000m, unfortunately I have to use a C2 at my gym because I don't have my own but give or take a few tenths of a second this is the breakdown o...

I don't think Rockin Roland could troll any harder even if he tried!

Yes, Roland we all get that you love dynamic ergs and hate static ones, in paticualr C2.

Message recieved and understood.

Seems as if everyone is setting 30 minute PB's!!!! I set mine this morning: Old PB: 7,560m - Jan 11th, 2011 Today: 7,729m This piece felt great, I held negative splits the whole way. First 10 minutes was right around 1:58 / 500m, second ten minutes 1:56, and final ten minutes 1:53-54 range as I spri...

So after begining to erg in Septeber of 2010 my goal of breaking 7:00 in the 2K was achieved today! 1:44.9 @ 29 SPM 1:44.6 @ 30 SPM 1:44.9 @ 29 SPM 1:44.1 @ 29 SPM _________________ 6:58.4 @29 SPM I went out hoping to do my splits in 1:45, 1:44, 1:45, 1:44. I came about as close as I could to doing ...

Did 6,000 meters today it went like this:

2K warm up

2K erg test

2K cool down/relax screaming thighs!!!

I set a PB on the 2K test but I'll put that in the proper thread.

Still a little sore from a tough week's work.

8K easy.

12K row @ 22 SPM

48:18.5

Fairly easy row, but switched it up a bit and every 2000 meters did a set of "Power 10's" to get the heartrate up a bit and also to help break up the distance.

Gotta keep it interesting!

Workout for today was 30:00 @ 20 spm

Total Distance: 7544 meters

Nice workout, Ray. I just did a 5x1500m myself a few days ago. I find this one one of the easier w/o on PP. It's long, but the pacing isn't too demanding. How long have you been erging? PM 10' warm up paddle Bench Pr. 145x5,5,5,5 165x5,5 175x5 185x4 165x5 145x5 Shoulders feel a bit stiff on the BP....

I promised myself I would attempt a 2km under 7 minutes "before the end of the year". Well, today is 2011 but I just didn't have time during the holidays. Cross country skiing, speed skating ... :-) This evenng I managed a 6:59.9 (1:44.1, 1:45.0, 1:45.5, 1:45.3). I rowed the first 1500 in 29spm, th...
